EGro

eGro designs ecosystems with farmers in remote and dry areas of developing countries.

We are using an ecosystem design method that resembles how a forest is working, we maximize it for production.

With our eGro model we aim to secure a reliable supply chain for global food industry. We target the food ingredients sector in an effort to become their primary raw material supplier within the next 30 years.
The eGro model is a commercial exploitation of landscaping and forest regeneration methods. The method has never previously been strategically commercialized on large scale for the global market.

We implement the production design in dry areas and wastelands such as semi-arid deserts where the land value is low. This way we produce foods and goods in areas that previously were not productive. Areas where people are in need of jobs and a sustainable development.

We educate the farmers in establishing and maintain highly productive sustainable ecosystems. They are organised in cooperatives where they own the land and we become the trusted link between the rural farming community and the large corporate food sector.

The raw materials our farming cooperatives produce for industry are used in food, health, textile, lumber and a number of other industries that all get their raw materials from forestry and agriculture. These are products like pectin, a carbohydrate for stiffening marmalade and chewing gum. It comes from the lemon skin. Other products could be sweeteners for cakes like the stevia plant. There are numerous plants that are used for natural colours for making yoghurts a range of nuances and also apply for dying clothes. The total market size within food ingredients alone is 80bn USD.

eGro will work in strategic partnerships with food ingredients sector. Together we will identify their needs, and give them “options-by-buy” the crops produced by our rural farmers.

This way we are making the basic raw materials of the industrial supply chain sustainable.

We become an essential part of these industries’ profitability and crucial to their very survival in the future climatic changes that are impacting all sectors, from agriculture and health, to construction and energy.
